To build additional time into the student transportation schedule and prioritize getting every student to school on time, school start times will shift effective Wednesday, Sept. 20. Families may locate the new school start times online.
Tuition paid by cash, check, or money order will be refunded in the form of a check mailed to the issuer once the refund request is processed. Refunds by check may take 4–6 weeks to process. Tuition paid by credit card will be refunded to the credit card in accordance with the credit card company’s refund procedure less the service charge.
Once a student is enrolled in a course/program, the Financial Assistance Committee will review the completed applications for those students and notify parents/guardians if additional tuition reduction will be applied.
Parents will be notified by email when a student has been enrolled in a class. Parents must then remit full tuition in order to enroll in and earn credit for High School summer courses.
